Well, the US is where our ELECTIONS are held , so it matters a bit more...! Yes, we've lost allies and World Trust, but Trump doesnt care about that shit. He's a separatist and isolationist, so he's accomplished HIS goals. He alone will take credit for EVERYTHING.... remember he said "Nothing bad can happen, it can only Good happen", and HE alone makes it so ! Quote

Power hungry zealots and megalomaniacs are EVERYWHERE, and there will always be the hunger and fight for POWER.. But if there are guardrails and checks in place, it makes the threats less threatening and harder to achieve. Quote
Members Pete1111 Posted April 10 Members Posted April 10 11 years ago Canada elected their version of Trump. They built a wall to keep out Americans. It all happened in ... "Where My Country Gone?" South Park Season 19 Episode 2. It's a scream! If you can stream it, I recommend. We need to take a minute and laugh. Quote

Could have been one of the bus loads of USA seniors who travel across the Canadian border to find more affordable medications in Canada. Birth control medication is provided free under the national Pharmacare plan (diabetes medications is also free). There's a brilliant idea - prevent unwanted pregnancies rather than having the State control women's bodies through extremist abortion bans. Pete1111, stevenkesslar and vinapu 3 Quote

RockyRoadTravel Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Mocking the simplistic rantings of neo-populist conservatives can be effective. Years ago Stockwell Day was the leader of the emerging neo-populist rightwing party of the Canadian Alliance. The Canadian, sort of equivalent, of SNL, This Hour has 22 Minutes, started a petition to have Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day change his name to Doris Day. With 370,000 signatures it reached the threshold to trigger a national referendum. Effectively making the point that referendums are no way to govern. (I really want a reporter to ask The Incompetent why, with his biblical Trooth Social post, did he chose to be represented as Fat Jesus - but I digress). 'Doris Day' petition hits the mark | CBC News Even though there was mocking involved, the mocking was about an idea, and came across as humorous and not mean-spirited. I think that is still largely true of Canadian politics versus American politics. Public financing of election campaigns and controls of campaign spending also help in Canada. Quote

I'm sorry if I offended anyone. But this is the message the Trump true believers want to send. These are the words that come out of the mouth of the President of the United States. Thankfully even one in three Republicans, who are technically in the cult, recognize there is something not right going on here. Most Democrats and Independents know what Trump is doing is wrong, and it is literally destroying the US, and our alliances. This is not making the world safer. The US is making the US and the world less safe. And the rest of the world sees it and rejects it. All for power and ego and money. Not for the many, but for the few. E pluribus unum? This is un-American. Unless the idea of America is that the world exists to make corrupt and egotistical men rich and powerful. Canada appears to be surviving the Incompetent's trade war with the USA's northern ally. Good jobs report last month. Also, crude oil exports grew by 7% in April. However, beyond the energy sector, farm, fishing and intermediate food product exports increased by 8.9% in April, to the highest levels since January, 2025. Canada is in a "technical recession" which will likely be erased when updated data revises the January - March information. Quote

I'm fine with him being Gay, of course. He just runs up too much shit on credit cards. Like wars, and what not. Quote
